(18 September 2022, 13:07 +07)  Marriott has expanded its portfolio of all-inclusive properties in the Caribbean and Latin America with the opening of Sanctuary Cap Cana, a Luxury Collection All-Inclusive Resort in Dominican Republic.

The adults-only resort marks the first luxury all-inclusive resort for Marriott.

Located just 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport and nearby Punta Espada Golf Club, Sanctuary Cap Cana features 324 suites across 19 room categories, including oceanfront luxury villas and private island suites with furnished terraces and private pools overlooking the sea.

The grandest accommodation is the Castle Island Suite, a 5,500-sqft, two-level suite on a private island with a master bedroom, secondary bedroom, two and a half bathrooms, expansive living room, full dining room and three indoor plunge pools with floor to ceiling windows showcasing infinite views of the Caribbean Sea.

“Cap Cana is one of Dominican Republic’s most coveted areas offering an inspiring getaway for our global explorers with a stretch of white sanded beaches, turquoise waters, and architecture resembling a storied colonial Spanish era,” said Brian King, President, Caribbean & Latin America for Marriott International. “Sanctuary Cap Cana is proof of our commitment to provide discerning travelers with unique vacation retreats to continue collecting timeless memories, now in a convenient luxurious all-inclusive format.”

Facilities at the resort include four a la carte restaurants featuring cuisines such as Italian, seafood, Asian, and a steakhouse; a buffet restaurant open for daily breakfast and lunch; a coffee shop; deli; and seven bars.

The Capriccio and The Steakhouse restaurants are the two signature restaurants onsite, while Sanctuary Town, located right across from the resort’s main lobby, acts as an extension for guests to dine and explore with distinctively designed venues offering a wide array of gastronomies: from a Burger Factory, a Sushi town, or Mama’s Forno pizza prepared in a wood fire oven to a Spanish Tavern among other offerings, while live entertainment is showcased on some weekdays.

The property features six pools for relaxation, or if preferred, cabanas and sunchairs on the beach, ideal to lounge all day, soak up the sun, and unwind while savoring local and international beers or cocktails from the Beach Bar, all while surrounded by impeccable personalized service.

The Sanctuary Spa showcases Ayurveda treatments, hydro and other cutting-edge therapies, as well as beauty shop services and couples massage cabins featuring a bathtub that can be arranged with champagne and chocolate delights.

For meetings, events and launches the resort has approximately 46,000 square feet of event space, 17 event rooms of indoor and outdoor venues, and 400-people capacity in its largest space.

“Sanctuary Cap Cana is an ultra-luxury experience in which guests can expect a top-of-the-line service and quality that can’t be matched at the all-inclusive level,” said Gregory Maliassas, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Playa Hotels & Resorts. “This resort is the perfect choice for the level of style and sophistication that has made Marriott’s The Luxury Collection resorts the standard-bearer for unique, one-of-a-kind vacations and we are honored to be partnering with the Marriott team.”
